Comments

Comments given by Michael Allan Wolf, Professor of Law and History at the University of Richmond, and Daniel T. Murphy, Acting Dean and Professor of Law at the University of Richmond School of Law.

Professor Wolf: "Too often professors pursue the questions that we find most intriguing and complex in isolation from scholars and leading practitioners of the law and related fields. Environmental and land-use regulation pose more than their fair share of challenging inquiries; therefore, I welcome the opportunity to work with the 1996 occupants of the George E. Allen Chair in the classroom, the lecture hall, and in more informal settings. The Allen Chair also enables me to give colleagues and students in sights into my own scholarship and teaching, which will be enriched by this novel joint venture."
